Connect to the Source

In Sanskrit, Sahaj means effortless. Samadhi is meditation - a natural state beyond waking, sleeping and dreaming that is an unlimited reservoir of energy, intelligence and creative power and a place of infinite peace and tranquility.

“People search for joy everywhere not knowing that the Self is the source of all joy.”

SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

“My meditation is my time for myself, where I can let go and just be. And when I’m done, I feel rested, refreshed, joyful and peaceful... ready to take on all of life’s demands. Meditation has really helped me lower my stress and anxiety levels and have given me the ability to laugh even in times of crisis.”

How Is It Different from Mindfulness, Concentration or Guided Meditation?

Unlike guided meditation, Sahaj Samadhi does not require accessories nor any guidance once learned. And, generally, it takes you to a much quieter and deeper place as well.

Sahaj Samadhi means “effortless meditation”. It does not require controlling the mind like concentration meditations, nor does it require vigilant observation of thoughts and emotion like mindfulness meditation. Thus, it has been found to be easier and quicker to learn than mindfulness or concentration which require mental effort and take a longer time to master.

As Taught By

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

World-Renowned Humanitarian and Spiritual Leader

Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is only taught by teachers who have been personally certified by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. This meditation comes from a tradition that is thousands of years old, and has been preserved in its purity so that you will have the clearest experience of meditation.

Sri Sri describes how Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is a rare combination of simplicity with depth, and how meditation has been passed down by a series of teachers for thousands of years, maintaining its authenticity while becoming much more accessible.

“In Samadhi, that very deep state of meditation, you are given energy and long-lasting bliss. It carries you higher and higher until your very presence radiates love.”

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Founder of the Art of Living Foundation and Creator of Sahaj Samadhi Meditation

“After taking the Sahaj course, I feel an overall improvement in my energy although I sleep much less than I used to. I’m also more present for the everyday moments of my life and in my relationships with friends and family. I find that I’ve become a lot calmer and less reactive to events that would have bothered me before and have even noticed an increase in my creativity.”
